TASK ONE:

If not: How has your player kicked off their offseason? Are they traveling? Meeting up with friends and partying? Following the games? Write at least 150 words about the beginning of your player’s offseason. Must include at least one other player.

Vakarian has been relaxing for most of the off-season up to this point, taking the brief time off in order to visit her friends, family, and recharging for next season. Lyndis isn't the type of person to be a party animal so quiet time at home and spending the day with friends watching movies has been her premier choice. She has been seen just last week to have been leaving Kelowna and arriving at Toronto to train with her trainer Cynthia Taylor who still currently resides in the region. Vakarian has been working harder to find more consistency in her game and develop a more consistent routine as well. As Toronto is near the Hamilton region, Vakarian has also been rumored to have had a few meetings with Hamilton GM Ben Dover, likely about her possibly coming up next season for the Steelhawks. Other than that, she has not been following the games as when asked about Minnesota and the Panthers, she responded with "who?".

TASK TWO: Who is your choice for the unsung hero of the S39 playoffs up to this point? Must be at least 150 words and include at least two statistics in support.

My unsung hero for the SMJHL playoffs as that has been the only ones I have chosen to follow would be a player from the Prince George Firebirds, Paddy Kane Rielly. He's the captain for the Firebirds and has been a scoring menace since his debut in the league and he's shown off what he can do in these playoffs. In his twelve games played, he has scored 7 goals which leads his team, the next leading scorer in the playoffs has 8 with 3 more games played. Reilly put the team on his back and tried to do everything possible to carry Prince George to another 4 star cup and took a ton of punishment in doing so. He tanked 29 hits in 12 games as the opposition took notice of his scoring talent at 23.33% shooting average and pounded the body on him non stop. Without Reilly, Prince George wouldn't have even made the playoffs much less pushing St. Louis to game 7.

TASK FOUR:

TASK SIX: Finals series always show surprises. Who will have to stand out the most from each team in order to win it? Make a prediction for potential series MVPs. Must be at least 150 words and mention at least one player from each team.

I'm gonna keep it simple and say that the goalies are going to have to be the ones that will need to stand out the most from the St Louis Scarecrows and the Vancouver Whalers in order for their team to win it all. Simply put, if your goalie never lets the puck in, you'll always have the chance to win. Now Julian O'Sullivan and Friedrich Schmidt are not SHL level goaltenders yet but they have to put in the effort so that every single game, their team has the chance to win the game. As this has been written after the playoffs are over, we can see that Friedrich Schmidt was one of the MVPs of this series as he restricted the Whalers to scoring less than 3 goals several times in the playoffs and his low scoring team was able to steal games as a result of that.
